Help w/ Technological Capitals please!!

Should I build these on the tiles that give a research bonus or does building a technological capital on these tiles waste them?

Yeah, it's a waste. Capitals don't take bonuses from bonus tiles (I guess it would give way too much of an advantage if they did).

However, bonus tiles ARE affected by capitols. Just try putting a capitol on a world with a precursor mine and you'll see what I mean.

No, that affects your sanity, and makes the aliens laugh at you

Seriously, if I could mod in a way for the AI to evaluate your buildings and say "We're going to kill you, just so our building developers stop crying at the monstrosity of your homeworld" I would. Because being insulted by a computer is strangely amusing.

In a game I once had two +300% Research Bonus Tiles and one with +100%   (on Planet EARTH). I've built four Invention Matrix and One Technological Capital. It resulted in 101 Research Points, hehe  . Well, I've built the Capital on A normal Tile. I'm not sure if it would make a difference ...

If you had built the capital on a +300, it would have made a difference. You'd have lost the 300. Oh, and thread necromancy is BAD.

HOLY CRAP Mumble! That is better than the last one I seen you post. I still haven't broke ten thousand yet on one. Just can't get the right combo of placement, quality and bonuses.

I only have 4 research resources in this game, usually get 5 or 6. That plus I'm not neutral, otherwise this would have been *much* better. Neutral alone is worth 22% -> 14.5K.

I've gone hog wild on research this game, besides this planet I have 2 planets above 5K RP's per week, 2 above 4K, 6 above 2K and 20 above 1K. We'll see if it makes a noticeable difference in the score, probably not as much as I'd like.
